(210) 20grogers1 https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356079 The daughter, who is trying to budget and keep enough money to feed three children is getting used by her father. Instead of allowing her to eat, Rex is taking money for a drink and cigarettes. The father and daughter relationship is swapped in this instance.]]> 2019-11-04 16:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356079 Olivia Cathcart 20ocathcar https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356204 "I was about to tell him the truth for the first time, about to let him know that he'd let us all down plenty, but then I stopped. I couldn't do it."- Page 210
It is obvious that Jeannette has a soft spot for her father, and even though she is fed up with her father's constant lies and disappointments she does not have the heart to tell him what he is doing is wrong and that says a lot about her character.]]> 2019-11-04 16:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356204 "He wanted me to accompany him on a business trip. He said I needed to wear something nice... stopping at a roadside bar." (210) 20krodrigu https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356272 Rex says the business trip is how he pays her back and all he does is end up taking his daughter to a bar most likely filled with drunks. He tells her to wear something nice it just isn't going in a good direction. It comes off like she is how he is getting his money in other words prostitution. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356272 "Dad ordered Buds for himself and me, even though I told him I wanted a Sprite" (pg 211) 20sspadali https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356497 I was surprised when Rex got Jeanette a beer. She's only 13 and he is teaching her bad habits of his. Even though she said she wanted a Sprite, he ignored her and got a beer, maybe trying to get her into drinking. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356497 "Have I ever let you down?"(page 210) 20mgermain https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356548 Jeanette says that she has heard this at least 200 times before and the answer to the question was yes. Throughout the book the Dad has done many things to let the whole family down.]]> 2019-11-04 16:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356548 "I was about to tell him the truth for the first time, about to let him know that he'd let us down plenty, but then I stopped. I couldn't do it." (p. 210) 20asiegel https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356581 For years, Jeannette had been the only child who ever had faith in her father. She always trusted him and defended his actions. But as she was getting older, her faith in her father started to disappear. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356581 "About seventeen" page 211 20osoares https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356779 Jennete is at a bar at the age of 13 and is being hit on by a man who's clealy too old for her and he doesn't care and she doesn't care enough]]> 2019-11-04 16:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356779 "...I swore to myself that it would never be like mom's, that I would not be crying my eyes out in an unheated shack in some godforsaken holler (pg 208)." 20imigliac https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356815 Despite everything Jeannette has gone through because of how her parents are, she never wants to follow in their foot steps. She is determined to become something important and do something with her life. Most kids follow after their parents, but Jeannette creates her own standards for herself.]]> 2019-11-04 16:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356815 "I've got bills piling up, I said...I've got kids to feed" -Jeanette pg 210. I chose this quote because the fact that Jeanette is more concerned about the family than Rex is, is something to discuss. Jeanette is 13 years old, most kids at 13 are not worrying about bills, they probably don't even know how to write them. 20mlapiana https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356937 2019-11-04 16:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356937 " He knew I had a soft spot for hum the way no on else in the family did, and he was taking advantage of it" (pg 209) 20kpetitfr https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356965 Jeannette is trying really hard to take care of the family at the age of 13 and it is starting to get difficult for her because Rex is taking advantage of her and taking the money that she needs for food and bills and using it for unnecessary stuff " benefiting" himself. This is unfair to her and the benefit of the kids. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406356965 20jragone https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406357140 "'I've got bills piling up,' I said. I heard my voice growing shrill, but I couldn't control it. 'I've got kids to feed'"(page 210)
I feel bad for Jeanette because she has to explain to her father that she has responsibilities. It should be the other way around she shouldn't have that much weight on her shoulders. Her father should be carrying it but he's causing it. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406357140 "How old are you, girl?" (Page 211) 20fverelin https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406357336 When reading this, I was taken aback by how sudden Robbie asks Jeanette her age. I'm assuming that she looks nothing like a seventeen year old, but to Robbie it doesn't matter. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406357336 "Giving him that money pissed me off. I was mad at myself but even madder at Dad" (page 209) 20janderso https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406357490 Although Jeanette is young she is forced to manage money. Nobody should have to manage money and taxes as a child.

I believe he needs to know that he has failed and upset the family numerous times.

Jeanette feels no pity for her mom and believes that it is her fault her father is so unmanageable, because her mother is so weak. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406357851 "Know how to dance?" 211 20tmccarth https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406358959 Robbie, an older man at the bar, is flirting with Jeannette and her dad isn't stopping him. Rex thinks he's working as a team with Jeannette to take his money but Jeannette is uncomfortable and would rather refrain from giving Rex any money. ]]> 2019-11-04 16:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406358959 20gavelar https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406359310 “Sure” Dad said “ just don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” he pointed at his pool cue at me, “ Holler if need me” he said and winked at me as if to say he knew I could take care of myself, that this was just a part of my job” ( pg. 212)

Horrible thing for any parent to do. Even bringing her in a bar is just horrible ]]> 2019-11-04 16:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406360670 sam 20snocerin https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/406360787 “Have I ever let you down?” Dad asked. (page 210)
In this situation that Jeanette was faced with due to her father asking for money from her budget for food and bills. She explains she only had $3.50 for food everyday. She still gave her dad the money, but it frustrates me because I would not do the same. Rex needs to hear it from his own daughter, she shouldve explained the way this made her feel towards him.

This old man came up to the bar and sat right next to Jeannette. He proceeds to asked about her age and then takes her hand and asks her to dance. As she got up Rex looked at her and smiled. This is bad parenting throwing in your 13 year old daughter in a bad situation like this just to pay her back. ]]> 2019-11-06 00:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/creynolds38/lopah64k88n8/wish/407208447
